Meal Plans

Make it easy to dine

If you live in a residence hall on campus or in one of the student hotels, you must purchase an on-campus meal plan. If you live in Chancellor’s Hall, Haymarket Landing, Mogenson Hall or Priory Hall, you are not required to buy a meal plan but may do so if you like. Faculty and staff may also find it convenient to buy a meal plan.

We offer four meal plans for campus residents and three that are tailored for off-campus students plus faculty and staff. Each plan is designed to fill different needs, so look over the choices to see which fits you best. However, note that if you are an on-campus resident and do not stipulate which plan you prefer, you will automatically be assigned the Platinum meal plan. Just simply present your Blugold card at your desired dining location and state what type of meal plan you are using.

All on-campus meal plans include a $320 administrative fee, which covers utilities; operational upkeep; food service equipment and supplies; kitchen equipment maintenance and repair; furniture; production and serving areas; and cleaning of all dining facilities, as well as administrative salaries.

Meal plan participants agree to pay UWEC the fees established by the University of Wisconsin System Board of Regents. UWEC reserves the right to change meal plan rates should costs related to providing those services increase more than was anticipated at the time the rates were originally established.

By requesting that meal plan charges be billed to their student account, meal plan participants agree to accept the conditions of the partial payment plan. Meal plan participants thereby apply for installment credit and agree to pay the down payment and installments when due. This agreement is executed in compliance with the Wisconsin Consumer Act.
